My UF1 was delivered today to run alongside my UC1. These controller videos have been a real help on deciding which way to go. Can't wait to start getting familiar with the whole SSL 360 set up and these controllers. 😎

through 20 minutes your UF1 display never amazing

The FADER SELECT mode is used if you use the UF1 with the UF8 (i.e limited the the 8 Physical faders on the UF8). That is why you re limited to only 8 Tracks. However in CHANNEL MODE the UF1 is essentially following the DAW channels, in this case it goes beyond the 8 tracks. I believe that is what SSL Planners decided to implement..

Thanks Dave. I saw one on a great sale and just ordered it to go with my UC1.

Thanks, Dave! If you could do a review of the UF1 with LUNA in the future that would be cool 😎

Good video. I respect your have-not-read-the-manual approach. It is still useful.

[BlueJavaTN]

Love your walk throughs - agree with you on the channel select not following, drives me crazy but seems to be a Mackie limitation. The only exception I've found for Cubase and Studio One is the no longer sold CC121, which will follow the channel select. Hoping UF1 will get this improvement soon.

While talking about controllers, I would personally LOVE to see a demo video from Home Recording Made Easy on the MP Midi Controller. I wonder how well it would work with the Softube system? Add the scribble strips you mentioned and the combination might be hard to beat?

[MarcoPolux]

@07:54 not in Cubase. In cubase it works as you want it.... immediatly responds on the screen.

Great vid Uncle Dave . Will there be Part 5 for tracking with Luna and UA plugins ?

[citytonightproductions]

Great vid again Dave! Still waiting for mine to arrive, I have the UC1 that I use on every mix. I do love the SSL channel strips and 360 environment so hoping it will be good to have my left hand on UC1 and UF1 while my right hand uses mouse. Who knows, maybe my Icon Qcon pro X system will go by the wayside as it seems all the functions is right here in this unit.

Could you include in a video if its possible to control 3rd party plugins using the UF1 please?

When in Channel select mode you are moving the Channel encoder and walking through the channels on a "Bank Of 8" basis. This means the bank might reach the end of your list of channels and go no further. so in that situation to get the very last track in your mixer row to be controlled by the fader for example, you can select "Fader Mode" and use the Channel encoder to cycle through the channels within the 'Bank Of 8'.
Personally I think this would have been best achieved by simply pressing the SHIFT key rather than clicking the channel encoder, scrolling across and then clicking

[nunyabizfam]

Can you set the 4 rotary encoders to control s1’s macro knobs?

[braxal]

I am thinking about buying this unit but my desk space is at a premium and I got to be sure.

I think there's some bizarre behaviour that isn't quite documented well enough around the channel / fader select.

I created 8 faders +1 additional. Replicated your behaviour. It seems to act as an OFFSET.

So for instance, in CHANNEL SELECT. If you move along to say "Fader ". That bank will contain everything from Fader 2 - 9 whilst in CHANNEL SELECT. Which means if you then switch to FADER SELECT, you can individually cycle them.

So it would appear at least on my side, that CHANNEL SELECT really is "cycle between the banks of each 8 channels" then use FADER SELECT to select the individual fader in that bank for focus.

It's really quite counter intuitive. Especially, as you can do the VERY SAME thing with the < > bank button.
